Day To Day News

 Good Day S.K.O. Family, I hope you are finding some relief in this heat we are having.  This Saturday our town is hosting the annual Polk Salad Festival.  I hope to see some of you there.  Remember, we are across from the REU building. I'm constantly crafting now a days.  I love to create something from chaos.  I hope to start posting some of my creations on here so that you can enjoy them too.  Often I find it hard to sell them because they become my babies, but I must pay for more supplies.  LOL  Thus begins the never ending cycle. The 24th we will be hosting a Fairy Day Festival at our shop.  I love miniatures and fairy gardens and everything magical.  We've discovered a fairy door right in our own shop!  I wonder how they decorated their home?  I would love to see it one day.  May I can take a peek and get a photo to share. As always, we have our anime and manga in the shop as well as our Japanese sweets ...

I hope this brisk days is finding you healthy and happy.  If not, come see  me and I'll fix you a cup of tea.  :)  I know the weather has been fluctuating a lot lately, but that shouldn't bring us into the depths of despair. Just finish out your day and remember how warm and wonderful your bed will feel tonight when you cuddle up for a good snuggle.  Lately, myself I've been keeping my hands warm by doing crafts.  I enjoy bringing to life new creations for others to love. Between my potions jars, jewelry and fan fiction I've got a full array that I'm working on.  Keeping ones mind busy is always a good thing.  It's when it's left unattended that it gets into trouble. ;) Keep your creative juices flowing and make something today.  Share pics and videos.  Enjoy life, and others in it.  Because life is too short to just toss away on wasted time. I do apologize if my ramblings seem a bit jumpy like a rabbit trail, but my mind does...

Good morning all.  For some of you the days have you snowed in, but here, here we are almost wearing t-shirts again.  I'm enjoying the weather, but on the other side a lot of people are getting sick from the temp changes.  I just hope it gets cold enough to kill the germs and bugs. LOL  We do need the rain and it is most appreciated.  We are planning a lot of things for the shop this spring.  The one thing I'm working on is getting better internet.  Where we moved to Charter is not available so we have Comcast.  UGH!  I'm looking into a fiber optic company and hopefully they will be faster and no limits.  It's sad when you pay for the best and get sub quality.  On a cheery note I've found that if you are struggling or going through a tough patch finding an outlet helps a lot.  Me, besides my crafts for the store, I've been writing fan fiction.  I can't tell you how wonderful it keeps my mind busy so I'm not up all hours ...

Hello all, I just wanted to jump on here to wish everyone "Happy Holidays" for what ever faith or walk of life you are at right now in your life. It's these times of the year where we feel the most stressed.  It's also due to the longer darkness and cold.  It's in the dark and cold where we feel lost, unloved, alone.  I'm here to say you're not.  Keep your family and friends close during this season of the year.  Keep your fur babies close to cuddle.  Even online friends are a help for the winter blues.  I'm even here if you need an ear to talk to or a shoulder to cry on.  I'm sure we've got more in common than you realize. Take care and stay warm and safe. No Worries, SKO!

Good morning my friends and family, I hope this chilly day finds you warm and in bed with lots of fuzzy blankets, a cup of hot chocolate and a good book.  I'm in my shop right now with a jacket on and cold brewed coffee.  I have found out that it has more of a kick than hot.  The extra bonus is I can down twice as much in a shorter time.  LOL  I have to be careful or I start to act like a humming bird. Recently I have purchased one of those holiday projectors for my store window.  Much to my joyous surprise it can also use it as a laptop projector.   Not only that but it uses SD cars which I have three blanks and a mini with an SD converter cover.  I bet you can guess what I'm going to do. ;)  I'm not going to purchase the "Extra" SD cards from the company.  I'm going to find free videos online and record and convert them.  This will save me a tone of money.  Yes, they may not be the most awesomest quality, but they wi...

Good afternoon all,  I'm just fine tuning my store today and it looks great.  Once I get the crafting area more organized it will be perfect.  Even though life tossed rocks on your path we have many choices to make.  You can either trip over them, walk around them, pick them up and move them or my option use a stick of dynamite on them. Get out of my way cause I'm coming through!  I don't have time to mess around.  I've got bills to pay, babies to look after and a store to run.  lol I hope to post some of my creations on here to show you what I love to make. Just keep your head up, your heart guarded, your nickers pulled up and keep the wind at your back. As always "No worries."  and "S.K.O.!"
